"2EPT": Financial modelling using random variables
with rational characteristic function"
Abstract:
Exponential-polynomial-trigonometric (EPT) functions form a general
class of functions that has a long history (dating back at least to
Euler and d'Alembert in the 1740's!), is well-studied and has a lot of
nice properties. Here we report on the possibilities it supplies for
usage as probability density functions of non-Gaussian random variables
in financial modelling. Topics in the talk include: Representation of
such functions (using so-called state space realization techniques from
linear systems theory); Positivity/non-negativity issues; Extension to
probability measures on the real line (2EPT): this will lead to the
class of all probability measures on the real line with rational
characteristic function; Characterization of the class of infinitely
divisible 2EPT probability density functions and corresponding Levy
processes and application in Finance and Financial option pricing. If
time permits some remarks will be made about the link with related
(discrete probability) GPT density functions and their estimation (where
maximum likelihood estimation corresponds directly to Kullback-Leibler
divergence minimization) and the potential usage for EPT and 2EPT
estimation. A large part of this research is based on joint work with
Conor Sexton(Barclays London) and Finbarr Holland (UCC).

General Information
The 21st International Congress on Insurance: Mathematics and Economics
(IME 2017), scheduled July 3-5 2017, is one of the largest international
meeting series in actuarial science.
The aim of the conference is "to strengthen communication between
individuals and groups who produce and apply research results in
insurance and finance, aiming to integrate the research in both fields".
The conference deliberations will be on the following themes:
- Life Insurance;
- Non-Life Insurance;
- Reinsurance and Other Risk-Sharing Arrangements;
- Risk Management;
- Financial Modeling.
In the framework of the Panel Discussion (July 3, 2017) with the topic
"Ultra-low interest rates in insurance business" we offer the conference
participants a platform for discussions with a number of renowned experts.
The IME Educational Workshop (July 6-7, 2017) is a satellite event of
the IME 2017, aiming at academics and practitioners and providing a
general survey over the past and current research results and their
practical applications.
The topics of the workshop are:
- Life Insurance,
- Non-Life Insurance,
- Claims Reserving Methods,
- Computational Actuarial Science with R.
